Very sorry to hear you lost one of your babies. Its never fun losing something you put so much time into.

The biggest impact on food digestion would be heat. If she had a good heat source like a t-stat controlled under tank heater or good ambient temperatures, it helps aid the digestion process.

Unfortunately its just the opposite when it comes to keeping a cage too cold. The digestive process is slowed and the food inside can start to rot, and literally poison a snake from the inside.

But like a poster posted above me, crap happens don't beat yourself up over it. Just learn from the experience and move on.
